EVIDENCE FOR VAN DER WAALS ADHESION IN GECKO SETAE PDF

We provide the first direct experimental evidence for dry adhesion of gecko setae by van der Waals forces, and reject the use of mechanisms relying on high. Fig. 1. Force of gecko setae on highly polarizable surfaces versus for surface hydrophobicity. (A) Wet adhesion prediction. (B) van der Waals prediction. Functionally, the properties of gecko setae are as extraordinary as their structure: .. the first direct evidence that intermolecular forces are responsible for hypothesis that van der Waals forces are sufficient for gecko adhesion by reanalyzing.

Contact between rough surfaces and a criterion for macroscopic adhesion. Biology of the Integument 2: Liang and Anne M.

Force of gecko setae on highly polarizable surfaces versus for surface hydrophobicity. From This Paper Figures, tables, and topics from this paper. Immunolocalization of specific keratin associated beta-proteins beta-keratins in the adhesive setae of Gekko gecko.

Showing of extracted citations. Kenny and Ronald S. Gorb Springer Netherlands Showing of 8 references. Multiscale modelling and simulation of the deformation and adhesion of a single gecko seta. Therefore, we reject the hypothesis that wet, capillary interactions are necessary for gecko adhesion in favor of the van der Waals hypothesis.
